And it wasn't that long ago that they interviewed a healthy amount of pilots living in S. FL/MIA area.

Of course that's the way they describe it.
Unless something has changed and they recently went to a FIFO system since they started hiring after the furlough recalls, it's ALWAYS been a "pool". With candidates having the higher "overall scores" getting plucked out first.
In the brief they're NOT going to tell you the pool is competitive, and you could be swimming for possibly a year like a few have.
